Preoperative Multistrain Probiotic Supplementation Does Not Affect Body Weight Changes or Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Bariatrics: Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial. Nutrients 2024; 16:2055.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that microbiota plays a crucial role in the development, progression, and therapeutic options in obesity and its comorbidities. This study assessed preoperative probiotic therapy's impact on bariatric treatment outcomes. A 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 48 patients undergoing bariatric surgery was conducted. Participants received probiotics-Sanprobi Barrier-which contained nine strains of bacteria: Bifidobacterium bifidum W23, Bifidobacterium lactis W51 and W52, Lactobacillus acidophilus W37, Levilactobacillus brevis W63, Lacticaseibacillus casei W56, Ligilactobacillus salivarius W24, Lactococcus lactis W19, and Lactococcus lactis W58. Primary outcomes included excess body weight loss, body weight loss, and excess body mass index loss, with secondary objectives focusing on metabolic profiles. Surgical treatment of obesity significantly improved anthropometric and metabolic parameters. No significant differences were observed in primary outcomes or in secondary outcomes between groups at any time point post-surgery. Preoperative probiotics administration did not affect clinical outcomes 1, 3, or 6 months following bariatric surgery.

Positive impact of laparoscopic hepatectomy versus open hepatectomy on body size-corrected bleeding in obese patients. Surg Today 2024:10.1007/s00595-024-02865-3. [PMID: 38871859 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-024-02865-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) is reported to cause less bleeding than open hepatectomy (OH) in obese patients; however, there are no reports addressing this issue in terms of body size-corrected bleeding. METHODS The subjects of this study were 31 obese and 149 non-obese patients who underwent LH and 32 obese and 245 non-obese patients who underwent OH. Bleeding corrected for body surface area (C-BL) was compared between the obese and non-obese patients who underwent each procedure. A multivariate analysis for increased C-BL was performed using the median C-BL for each procedure. RESULTS The median C-BL tended to be higher in the obese patients than in the non-obese patients who underwent LH, but there was no significant difference (72 vs. 42 mL/m2, P = 0.050). However, it was significantly higher in the obese patients than in the non-obese patients who underwent OH (542 vs. 333 mL/m2, P = 0.002). In a multivariate analysis, for OH, sectionectomy or more (OR 3.20, P < 0.001) and a high BMI (OR 2.76, P = 0.018) were found to be independent risk factors, whereas for LH, a high BMI was not (OR 1.58, P = 0.301). CONCLUSIONS Obesity was identified as a risk factor for increased bleeding with body size correction for OH, but the risk was reduced for LH.

J Formos Med Assoc 2024:S0929-6646(24)00144-X. [PMID: 38433034 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfma.2024.02.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective treatment for patients with morbid obesity, but the optimal gastric volume (GV) for resection remains unclear. Accordingly, we aimed to determine the optimal percentage of excised stomach that could engender significant weight loss and improve fatty liver. METHODS This prospective study included 63 patients. Computed tomography (CT) scans were performed before and 1 year after LSG to evaluate the gastric lumen (GL) and GV. Specifically, the stomach was distended with effervescent powder, following water-contrast mixture (20:1) and assessed by three-dimensional reconstruction. The correlations of reduced gastric lumen/volume (RGL/RGV) with total body weight (BW) loss and liver-spleen density ratio (LSDR) changes were analyzed, and optimal RGL/RGV associated with significant BW and fatty liver changes were determined. RESULTS We noted a positive correlation between the percentage of RGV/RGL (%RGV/%RGL) and percentage of total weight loss (%TWL; r = 0.359, p = 0.004 and r = 0.271, p = 0.032). Furthermore, a %RGL value of >78.2% and %RGV value of >75.3% were associated with more significant BW loss than did limited excision (both p < 0.01). On the other hand, LSDR values increased significantly after LSG, corresponding to the improvement of fatty liver disease at %RGL and %RGV values of >59.1% and >56.4% (both p < 0.01), respectively. CONCLUSION %RGV and %RGL were determined to be factors affecting LSG outcomes. LSG engendered significantly more BW loss when %RGV was >75.3% and resulted in fatty liver disease improvement when %RGV was >56.4%.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bariatric surgery has grown in popularity over the past two decades, especially in the Asia-Pacific. Correspondingly, researchers' interest in this field has also increased. This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of publications from Asia-Pacific represented by the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders Asia-Pacific Chapter (IFSO-APC) and investigate the relevant factors that might affect the publications. METHODS The search terms for bariatric surgery were searched in Web of Science focusing on the period 2000-2021. Bibliometric analysis was performed after screening the search results. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed on the number of publications and corresponding indicators obtained from official agencies. RESULTS A total of 9,547 publications in IFSO-APC were retrieved, of which China had the largest number with 2,782 publications. Authors and journals with major contributions were listed. The authors' or affiliations' cooperation networks mainly were limited to domestic. "Bariatric surgery" was the most frequent keyword with 2,063 times and also the largest cluster. "Morbid obesity" was the strongest citation bursts. Multivariate analysis found that the number of publications in each country/region was associated with body mass index ≥25 kg/m2, gross domestic product, and total population. CONCLUSION Generally, Asia-Pacific represented by IFSO-APC scientific publications on bariatric surgery has grown significantly in the last two decades, but cooperation between countries/regions should be strengthened. "Morbid obesity" is the focus and frontier of research in this field.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim was to first investigate the efficacy of a preoperative weight management program centered on orlistat, which is mechanistically similar to gastrointestinal bypass procedures in that it restricts dietary fat absorption, and then assess its impact on the results of one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of consecutive patients aged 20-65 years with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 42.5 kg/m2 who underwent primary OAGB from 2014 to 2020. Eligible patients who adhered to a 10-14 day orlistat regimen as part of a 4-6-week diet/lifestyle modification plan preceding surgery were stratified into weight reduction (Group 1) and weight gain (Group 2) groups post treatment. The correlation between pre- and postoperative weight loss and perioperative outcomes was assessed. RESULTS Of 62 eligible patients, 55 met the inclusion criteria and complied with treatment; 35 (64%) patients in Group 1 lost a median of 2.0 kg, and Group 2 had a median weight gain of 2.9 kg. Group 1 had a significantly higher initial BMI (48.9 kg/m2 vs. 44.6 kg/m2; p = 0.003), more females (54% vs. 25%) and a shorter operation time than Group 2 (107 min vs. 140 min; p = 0.109). There was no difference in the incidence of 30-day complications. Weight loss did not differ between the groups at 24 months. CONCLUSION Effective weight control through an orlistat-containing regimen benefitted two-thirds of patients who underwent OAGB; however, further weight loss was not observed at 2 years post-surgery.

Abstract
In Japan, bariatric surgical treatment was started in 1982. The Japanese Society for Treatment of Obesity (JSTO) was established in 2007, and then, JSTO started the national registry of bariatric surgery cases and multidisciplinary educational program. A total of 44 facilities registered 4055 bariatric surgical cases until 2021. In this study, the purpose is to clarify the indication, the safety and the effectiveness of the sleeve gastrectomy using national registry database compiled by JSTO. Preoperative BMI ranged from 27.6 to 90.7 kg/m2, and the mean value was 42.7. With regard to gender, men/women was 1/1.3. Age was 42.2 as mean. As preoperative comorbidities, DM ratio was 54.4% of the patients, hypertension 64.5%, dyslipidemia 65.1%, and sleep apnea syndrome 69.8%. As an operation method, laparoscopic method was conducted in 99.7% of the cases. The intraoperative incidence rate was 0.9%. Conversion rate to open method was 1.1%. Postoperative morbidity ratio was 5.6%, and mortality was 0%. Reoperations were performed in 1.5% of the cases. Postoperative hospital stay was 5 days in median value. Body weight loss was 27.6 kg in the mean value after follow-up days of 279 ± 245. As the effect on the preoperative metabolic comorbidities, DM has improved in 82.9% of the cases, hypertension 67.9% and dyslipidemia 66.6%. In conclusion, using JSTO database, we evaluated the indication, postoperative complications and weight loss effect of sleeve gastrectomy in Japan. Regarding the evaluation of the effect on preoperative comorbidities, future follow-up based on more detailed criteria was considered to be necessary.

Potential Hepatic Lipid Markers Associated with Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis and Fibrosis in Morbid Obesity Patients. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12113730. [PMID: 37297926 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12113730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
This study investigated differences in lipidomic profile features in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) between mild and significant liver fibrosis cases among patients with morbid obesity. Wedge liver biopsy was performed during sleeve gastrectomy and significant liver fibrosis was defined as a fibrosis score ≥ 2. We selected patients with NASH with non/mild fibrosis (stage F0-F1; n = 30) and NASH with significant fibrosis (stage F2-F4; n = 30). The results of the liver tissue lipidomic analysis revealed that the fold changes of triglyceride (TG) (52:6); cholesterol ester (CE) (20:1); phosphatidylcholine (PC) (38:0) and (50:8); phosphatidic acid (PA) (40:4); phosphatidylinositol (PI) (49:4); phosphatidylglycerol (PG) (40:2); and sphingomyelin (SM) (35:0) and (37:0) were significantly lower in patients with NASH with F2-F4 than those with NASH with F0-F1 (p < 0.05). However, the fold changes of PC (42:4) were relatively higher in patients with NASH with stage 2-4 fibrosis (p < 0.05). Moreover, predictive models incorporating serum markers levels, ultrasonographic studies, and levels of specific lipid components [PC (42:4) and PG (40:2)] yielded the highest area under receiver operating curve (0.941), suggesting a potential correlation between NASH fibrosis stages and liver lipid accumulation among specific lipid species subclasses. This study demonstrated that the concentrations of particular lipid species in the liver correlate with NASH fibrosis stages and may indicate hepatic steatosis regression or progression in patients with morbid obesity.

Abstract
Obesity is a chronic disease in which the abnormal or excessive accumulation of body fat leads to impaired health and increased risk of mortality and chronic health complications. Prevalence of obesity is rising rapidly in South and Southeast Asia, with potentially serious consequences for local economies, healthcare systems, and quality of life. Our group of obesity specialists from Bangladesh, Brunei Darussalam, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Viet Nam undertook to develop consensus recommendations for management and care of adults and children with obesity in South and Southeast Asia. To this end, we identified and researched 12 clinical questions related to obesity. These questions address the optimal approaches for identifying and staging obesity, treatment (lifestyle, behavioral, pharmacologic, and surgical options) and maintenance of reduced weight, as well as issues related to weight stigma and patient engagement in the clinical setting. We achieved consensus on 42 clinical recommendations that address these questions. An algorithm describing obesity care is presented, keyed to the various consensus recommendations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibrosis stages affect clinical prognoses related to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, data on the prevalence and clinical features of significant fibrosis are scarce in Chinese bariatric surgery patients. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of significant fibrosis in bariatric surgery patients and to identify its predictors. METHODS We prospectively enrolled the patients performing intra-operative liver biopsies during bariatric surgery from a bariatric surgery center in a university hospital between May 2020 and January 2022. Anthropometric characteristics, co-morbidities, laboratory data and pathology reports were collected and analyzed. The performance of non-invasive models was evaluated. RESULTS Of 373 patients, 68.9%% had non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and 60.9% exhibited fibrosis. Significant fibrosis was present in 9.1% of patients, advanced fibrosis in 4.0%, and cirrhosis in 1.6%. Multivariate logistic regression showed that increasing age (odds ratio [OR], 1.06; p=0.003), presence of diabetes (OR, 2.62; p=0.019), elevated c- peptide (OR, 1.26; p=0.025) and elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (OR, 1.02; p=0.004) were independent predictors of significant fibrosis. The non-invasive models, AST to Platelet ratio (APRI), Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4), and Hepamet fibrosis scores (HFS) provided greater accuracy for predicting significant fibrosis, compared to the NAFLD Fibrosis Score (NFS) and BARD score. CONCLUSION More than two-thirds of bariatric surgery patients had NASH and the prevalence of significant fibrosis was high. Elevated levels of AST and c- peptide, advanced age and diabetes indicated a higher risk of significant fibrosis. Non-invasive models, APRI, FIB-4 and HFS can be used to identify significant liver fibrosis in bariatric surgery patients.

Obes Surg 2023; 33:68-77. [PMID: 36334251 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-022-06324-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Revised: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is frequently misdiagnosed and undertreated, increasing the risk of perioperative complications. We aimed to determine the predictors of OHS and to develop and validate a novel nomogram and online calculator for identifying patients at risk of OHS in bariatric surgery candidates. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients undergoing bariatric surgery between March 2017 and June 2020. Predictors were identified using univariate and multivariate analyses to establish the nomogram. The discriminative ability, calibration, and clinical value of the nomograms were tested using C-statistics, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis. The nomogram was internally validated using bootstrap resampling. RESULTS A total of 577 patients were enrolled, and OHS was presented in 17.9% (103/577). Body mass index (BMI) (odds ratio [OR], 1.11; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.04-1.18; p = 0.001), neck circumference (OR, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.01-1.18; p = 0.035), type 2 diabetes (T2D) (OR, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.17-3.45; p = 0.011), serum bicarbonate (OR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.30-1.67; p < 0.001), and C-reactive protein (CRP) (OR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.06; p = 0.017) were independent risk factors for OHS and incorporated to develop the nomogram. The nomogram revealed good discrimination, with a C-index of 0.830 (95% CI: 0.784-0.876) (0.8227 through internal validation), and good calibration. Decision curve analysis further confirmed the nomogram's clinical usefulness. CONCLUSIONS The novel nomogram and online calculator provided an excellent preoperative individualized prediction of OHS in patients undergoing bariatric surgery, hereby potentially assisting clinicians and surgeons in the early detection and intensive monitoring of OHS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the association of muscle fat contents, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and liver fibrosis in patients with severe obesity. METHODS Patients with severe obesity who underwent bariatric surgery were evaluated for NASH and liver fibrosis. Skeletal muscle was assessed by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, and muscle fat contents (skeletal muscle fat index [SMFI]) were evaluated by computed tomography-based psoas muscle mass and density. RESULTS A total of 104 patients with severe obesity were enrolled (57 with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score <5 and 47 with NASH with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score ≥5). SMFI was higher in patients with NASH than those without NASH (mean [SD], 39.0 [14.5] vs. 46.5 [14.2] for without NASH vs. with NASH; p = 0.009). SMFI was also correlated with hepatic steatosis grade, ballooning severity, and fibrosis stage. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that SMFI was associated with higher risk of NASH and liver fibrosis (odds ratio = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.13-4.98, p = 0.022 for NASH; odds ratio = 2.93, 95% CI: 1.32-6.48, p = 0.008 for significant liver fibrosis). CONCLUSIONS Muscle fat infiltration rather than muscle mass reflects the severities of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in patients with severe obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies on various bariatric surgeries involving patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) showed an overall rate of remission of hyperglycemia. However, there is little known about predictive factors on remission after different types of surgeries. The aim of this study was to identify the T2DM remission rate and to determine the effects of preoperative factors characteristics of remission of type 2 diabetes in Iran. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of 1351 patients with T2DM operated by three different types of surgeries (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB)). Diabetes remission was defined according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria. Binary logistic regression analyses were employed. RESULTS A total of 1351 patients, 675 patients (50.0%) undergoing OAGB, 475 (35.2%) RYGB, and 201 (14.9%) SG. 80.6%, 84.2% of OAGB, 81.7%, 82.6% of RYGB, and 77.1%, 81.5% of SG participants were in T2DM remission after 1 and 3 years, respectively. 1- and 3-year remission were associated with preoperative age, duration of T2DM, FBS and HbA1c, BMI, insulin therapy, and a family history of obesity (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The remission of T2DM after RYGB, SG, and OAGB surgery is dependent on various preoperative factors. Patients with younger age, shorter duration of T2DM, lower preoperative HbA1c and FBS, higher BMI, who were not on insulin therapy, and not having a family history of obesity were the best candidates to achieve a prolonged diabetes remission.

Abstract
Background: Bariatric or metabolic surgery is a safe and effective intervention for patients with obesity at higherrisk. In 2019, after the reimbursement in Korea, the number of metabolic surgery cases has rapidly increased. We aimed to introduce the current metabolic surgery concepts.Current Concepts: Patients with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥35 kg/m2 without coexisting medical problems and those with a BMI of ≥30 kg/m2 and ≥1 severe obesity-related complication remediable by weight loss could be considered as the candidates for metabolic surgery. The standardized and effective procedures are adjustable gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch. The decision on bariatric procedures should be based on the characteristics of patients considering the effectiveness and anticipated complications.Discussion and Conclusion: Metabolic surgery was shown to induce greater weight loss, better control of comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, and more significant decrease in death compared to that of the nonsurgical approach. Postoperatively, a comprehensive approach consisting of psychosocial, behavioral, nutritional, and pharmacological aspects should be performed to amplify and maintain the effectiveness of metabolic surgery.

Abstract
Background On November 25, 2021, the IFSO-Asia–Pacific Chapter (IFSO-APC) Virtual Meeting 2021 was held online, and the representatives from the Asia–Pacific region presented 10 years of change in bariatric/metabolic surgery and the influence of COVID-19 in the special session of “IFSO-APC National Reports 2010–2020”. We herein report the summarized data. Methods National bariatric/metabolic surgery data, which included the data of 2010 and 2020, were collected from the representatives using a questionnaire that consisted of 10 general questions. At the congress, the data were calculated and summarized. Results Thirteen of the 14 national societies responded to the survey. From 2010 to recent years, the populations of individuals with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) and individuals with diabetes both significantly increased. Eight countries and regions expanded the lower limit of criteria for bariatric surgery by 2–5 kg/m2 (BMI), and 5 countries newly established criteria for metabolic surgery in the last ten years. Sixty-nine percent of the countries currently run public health insurance systems, which doubled from 2010. The number of bariatric surgeons and institutions increased more than threefold from 2010. In 2010, 2019, and 2020, surgeons in IFSO-APC societies performed 18,280, 66,010, and 49,553 bariatric/metabolic surgeries, respectively. Due to the COVID pandemic, restriction policies significantly reduced access to surgery in South and Southeast Asian countries. The biggest changes included increased numbers of bariatric surgeons and institutions, operation numbers, public insurance coverage, raising awareness, and national registry systems. Conclusion For the last 10 years, bariatric/metabolic surgery has rapidly grown in the Asia–Pacific region.

Abstract
ABSTRACT We aimed to investigate the clinical feasibility of shear wave dispersion slope for assessing nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in patients with morbid obesity before bariatric surgery.This prospective study collected data from 25 participants who received liver biopsy during bariatric surgery between February 2019 and December 2020. All participants underwent ultrasonography shear wave elastography before surgery and shear wave speed and shear wave dispersion slope were measured. Liver specimens were evaluated by 1 pathologist scored histologically for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Ultrasonography measurements were compared according to histopathologic findings. Diagnostic performance in differentiating NASH from NAFLD was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Median shear wave speed (1.48 vs 1.62 m/s, P = 0.014) and dispersion slope (8.40 vs 11.80 [m/s]/kHz, P = 0.004) were higher in NASH group than in NAFLD group. Shear wave dispersion slope tended to increase step by step as the severity of activity grade (P = 0.032) and hepatic fibrosis (P = 0.015) increased. The AUC of shear wave dispersion slope for differentiating NASH from NAFLD (AUC, 0.83; 95% confidence intervals, 0.66-1.00) was higher than that of shear wave speed (AUC, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.60-0.97), although it did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.729). Shear wave dispersion slope could be a feasible tool for assessing NASH in patients with morbid obesity.

Abstract
A durable normoglycemic state was observed in several studies that treated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients through metabolic surgery, intensive therapeutic intervention, or significant lifestyle modification, and it was confirmed that the functional β-cell mass was also restored to a normal level. Therefore, expert consensus introduced the concept of remission as a common term to express this phenomenon in 2009. Throughout this article, we introduce the recently updated consensus statement on the remission of T2DM in 2021 and share our perspective on the remission of diabetes. There is a need for more research on remission in Korea as well as in Western countries. Remission appears to be prompted by proactive treatment for hyperglycemia and significant weight loss prior to irreversible β-cell changes. T2DM is not a diagnosis for vulnerable individuals to helplessly accept. We attempt to explain how remission of T2DM can be achieved through a personalized approach. It may be necessary to change the concept of T2DM towards that of an urgent condition that requires rapid intervention rather than a chronic, progressive disease. We must grasp this paradigm shift in our understanding of T2DM for the benefit of our patients as endocrine experts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite a known significant association between hyperuricemia and obesity, this correlation in bariatric surgery patients remains unknown. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prevalence and predictors of pre- and postoperative hyperuricemia in Chinese bariatric surgery patients. METHODS A retrospective study was performed in 333 bariatric surgery patients from our hospital. The clinical data was collected before surgery and at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Univariable and multivariate analyses were used for investigating the independent predictors of hyperuricemia and serum uric acid (SUA) change. RESULTS Altogether, 62.9% of patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for hyperuricemia. The prevalence of hyperuricemia among males was 81.8% and 62.3% in the women. Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that age (OR = 0.951, 95%CI:0.926-0.976, P = 0.000), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) (OR = 0.217, 95%CI:0.074-0.637, P = 0.005), γ-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT) (OR = 1.016, 95%CI:1.004-1.027, P = 0.006), and creatinine (Cr) (OR = 1.042, 95%CI: 1.017-1.067, P = 0.001) were independent predictors of hyperuricemia. SUA levels significantly declined in all patients from 443.1 ± 118.2 μmol/L before surgery to 370.1 + 113.4 μmol/L at 12 months after surgery. The prevalence of hyperuricemia also declined from 69.4% before surgery to 25.5% at 12 months. Multiple linear regression analyses confirmed that changes in Cr and body mass index (BMI) were independent predictors of a decrease in SUA levels, 12 months postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Hyperuricemia in Chinese bariatric surgery candidates are common, especially in males. Age, HDL-c, γ-GT and Cr were determined to be independent predictors of hyperuricemia. Bariatric surgery may effectively reduce the prevalence of hyperuricemia in this population, through postoperative weight loss and changes in creatinine following the procedure.

Lessons learnt from a prospective study. J Minim Access Surg 2022; 18:97-104. [PMID: 35017399 PMCID: PMC8830558 DOI: 10.4103/jmas.jmas_186_20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Context: The importance of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) contrast study following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is equivocal. It can, however, yield anatomical and functional details, the significance of which mostly remains unknown. Settings and Design: This prospective, single-center study included SG patients between January 2018 and January 2019. Materials and Methods: UGI contrast study was done on post-operative day 1. The findings of the study namely gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) holdup time, presence of fundus, gastroduodenal emptying (GDE) time, and sleeve shape were compared with weight loss, improvement of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms at 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up. Results: There were 138 patients with 100% follow-up. Radiological sleeve patterns observed were: tubular (62.3%), superior (16.0%), and inferior (21.7%) pouches. GEJ holdup time had no effect on percentage total weight loss (%TWL) (P = 0.09) or HbA1c improvement (P = 0.077). The absence of fundus led to greater %TWL at 6 months (P = 0.048). GDE time <15 s led to higher %TWL (P = 0.028) and lower HbA1c (P = 0.010) at 12 months. Antrum size <2 cm was associated with higher %TWL (P = 0.022) and lower HbA1c level (P = 0.047) at 12 months. Vomiting and regurgitation were common with tubular sleeves. Conclusion: UGI contrast study can predict weight loss, HbA1c improvement, and GERD symptoms. The absence of fundus, small antrum, and rapid GDE are associated with better weight loss. HbA1c improvement is better with small antrum and rapid GDE. Tubular sleeve predisposes to vomiting and regurgitation.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to identify factors that hinder 24-h patient discharge after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) in a low-volume practice. Material and Methods Consecutive patients who fulfilled regional criteria and underwent primary LRYGB from 2018 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were discharged on the morning of the first postoperative day (POD1) after meeting the predefined criteria. The assessed outcome measures (POD1 vital signs, laboratory findings, pain scores and nausea/vomiting) and 30-day postoperative complications were compared between the early (stay ≤ 24 h) and delayed (>24 h) groups. Results For 107 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria, 48 (44.9%) were discharged within 24 h. There were no differences in the baseline demographics, except that the early group was more likely to have a previous abdominal operation (35.4% vs. 16.9%). Both groups had similar operation durations (89 min vs. 92 min), but the early group had a markedly shortened length of stay (23 (24–22) h vs. 27 (47–26) h). The POD1 parameters were the same between the groups, except that the delay group had a significantly higher visual analog scale score, with fewer patient scores of 0. Patients who were younger and female were more likely to need additional IV analgesics. No POD1 antiemesis was required throughout the study. There was no increase in the 30-day complications. Conclusion Patient discharge at 24 h post-LRYGB is feasible and safe in a low-volume practice. A more comprehensive pain relief strategy may be required before generalizing this approach.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery has been shown to have a variety of metabolically beneficial effects for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and is now also called metabolic surgery. At the 2nd Diabetes Surgery Summit held in 2015 in London, the indication for bariatric and metabolic surgery was included in the “algorithm for patients with type T2D”. With this background, the Japanese Society for Treatment of Obesity (JSTO), the Japan Diabetes Society (JDS) and the Japan Society for the Study of Obesity (JASSO) have formed a joint committee to develop a consensus statement regarding bariatric and metabolic surgery for the treatment of Japanese patients with T2D. Eventually, the consensus statement was announced at the joint meeting of the 38th Annual Meeting of JSTO and the 41st Annual Meeting of JASSO convened in Toyama on March 21, 2021. In preparing the consensus statement, we used Japanese data as much as possible as scientific evidence to consider the indication criteria, and set two types of recommendation grades, “recommendation” and “consideration”, for items for which recommendations are possible. We hope that this statement will be helpful in providing evidence-based high-quality care through bariatric and metabolic surgery for the treatment of obese Japanese patients with T2D.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Weight reduction may reduce serum uric acid (SUA). This study aimed to examine the changes of SUA before and after bariatric surgery in patients with obesity with or without hyperuricaemia and gout. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of 147 routinely collected data on hospital patients with obesity who underwent bariatric surgery. The body weight and SUA were measured at baseline and after surgery at 1-7 days, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. RESULTS The mean (95% CI) weight reduction of 147 patients was 30.7 (28.7, 32.7) kg 1 year after surgery (P < 0.001). SUA decreased rapidly from 419.0 (400.1, 437.8) µmol/l at baseline to 308.4 (289.6, 327.2) µmol/l at 1-7 days, flared up to 444.8 (423.9, 465.6) µmol/l at 1 month, then decreased again to 383.8 (361.5, 406.1) µmol/l at 3 months, 348.9 (326.3, 371.5) µmol/l at 6 months and 327.9 (305.3, 350.5) µmol/l at 12 months (P < 0.001). Similar trends but more rapid reductions were observed in 55 hyperuricaemia patients and 25 gout patients. All 25 gout patients had an elevated SUA above the therapeutic target (≥360µmmol/l) at baseline, but in 10 patients it was reduced below this target at 12 months. The mean reduction (95% CI) of SUA in all patients and gout patients was 84.3 (63.1-105.4) and 163.6 (103.9, 223.3) µmmol/l, respectively. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery significantly reduces body weight and SUA for obese patients with hyperuricaemia and gout. Gout may be considered as an indicator for this surgical treatment in people with severe obesity.

[PMID: 34273069 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-021-05570-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2021] [Revised: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 06/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes is considered to be a surgically correctable illness. As glycemic control begins soon after surgery, the cessation of anti-diabetic medications is early. Patients believe that their diabetes has been "cured" and the need for blood sugar monitoring is forgotten, leading to undiagnosed hyperglycemia and risk of diabetes-related complications. AIMS To study the effect of bariatric surgery on long-term glycemic control and identify the patients with undiagnosed hyperglycemia. METHODS All patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent bariatric surgery at our center from January 2012 to December 2013 were included in the study. For each patient, demographic, preoperative, and postoperative data were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Out of the total 119 patients with diabetes, 91 patients underwent sleeve gastrectomy and 28 underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Diabetes status at 7 years of follow-up was possible in 53 (44.5%) patients: 44 (48.4%) in SG and 9 (32.2%) in RYGB groups. Overall, complete remission at 7 years was seen in 17 (32.1%) patients and partial remission in 12 (22.6%) patients. Amongst non-remitters (n = 24, 45.3%), 7 (13.2%) patients were on medications with good glycemic control (A1C < 6.5) while 8 (15.1%) patients had poor control (A1C > 6.5) despite ongoing medications. Additionally, 9 (17%) patients had poor glycemic control (A1C > 6.5) and were not receiving any anti-diabetic medications. Patients in whom follow-up A1C was unavailable and their diabetes status remain unknown were 66 (55.5%) at 7 years. CONCLUSION Our study clearly demonstrates high risk of undiagnosed hyperglycemia. Regular long-term follow-up in diabetic patients is even more desirable than amongst patients undergoing bariatric surgery for weight loss alone. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Objective: The was a pilot study to assess the biochemical and historical information about bariatric patients before undergoing the surgery in the aim of identifying nutritional deficiencies and their prevalence from 2015 to 2020. Methods: Clinical data of 247 patients (105 males and 142 females) were included. Vitamins, trace elements, electrolytes, albumin, globulin, hemoglobin, folate, ferritin, microalbuminuria (MAU), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were determined to explore the nutritional status according to gender, age, high body mass index (BMI), and waist circumstance (WC). Results: The mean age, mean BMI, and mean WC of the candidates were 32.95 ± 10.46 years, 38.01 ± 7.11 kg/m2, and 117.04 ± 16.18 cm, respectively. The prevalence of preoperative nutritional deficiencies was 76.88% for 25 (OH) vitamin D, 19.84% for globulin, 11.74% for albumin, 11.02% for sodium, 8.33% for folic acid, 10.48% (male) and 6.34% (female) for chloride, 4.05% for calcium, 3.07% (male) and 0.70%(female) for ferritin, 11.90% for elevated PTH, and 44.96% for MAU. Males exhibited increased prevalence of globulin and MAU relative to females (P < 0.05). Older groups are more likely to exhibit albumin deficiency (P = 0.007), globulin deficiency (P = 0.003), and zinc deficiency (P = 0.015). In addition, 25 (OH) D deficiency and albumin deficiency were more common in patients with BMI ≥ 47.5 kg/m2 (P = 0.049 and 0.015, respectively). Wider WC (≥150 cm) exhibited higher rates of albumin deficiencies (P = 0.011). Conclusion: Electrolyte and nutritional deficiencies were common in patients prior to bariatric surgery in South China. Routine evaluation of electrolyte and nutritional levels should be carried out in this population.

Surg Today 2021; 52:287-293. [PMID: 34109448 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-021-02317-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 05/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term efficacy of large gastric pouch surgery and revisional surgery in patients with a body mass index (BMI) < 35 kg/m2 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of patients who underwent laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy with a large gastric pouch in our hospital. The clinical pre- and post-surgery data, including BMI, waist circumference, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid metabolism-related indicators, homoeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and major complications, were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS Twenty-four patients were included in the analysis, 12 of whom underwent revisional surgery. At their 5-year-follow-up after the primary surgery, the BMI and waist circumference of the patients with T2DM were lower than their baseline values. The BMI, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, FPG and waist circumference also decreased after the revisional surgery. The rates of remission of diabetes after the primary vs. after the revisional surgery were 4.17% vs. 41.70%, respectively (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy with a large gastric pouch is not effective in the long term and, therefore, is unsuitable for Chinese patients with T2DM and a BMI < 35 kg/m2. Conversely, revisional surgery has a definite effect on these patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The effect of altered subsphincteric gastric volume and pressure after bariatric surgery on laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) remains largely unknown. This was a cross-sectional pilot study conducted between January 2018 and January 2019 to identify changes in LPR symptoms and signs in bariatric surgery patients presurgery and postsurgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-four patients listed for bariatric surgery in a single tertiary referral center were recruited, where 31 (77.4% female, mean age 46.3 ± 8.9 years) fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Of the eligible patients, 54.8% and 45.2% underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and gastric bypass (GB), respectively. LPR symptoms were assessed using the self-reported reflux symptom index (RSI). Video-recorded endolaryngeal signs were scored using the reflux finding score (RFS) by two blinded otolaryngologists. Patients' presurgical and 3-month postsurgical body mass index (BMI), RSI, and RFS were determined. Patients were deemed as having LPR when RSI > 13 or RFS > 7. RESULTS There was a significant correlation between the postsurgical RSI and RFS changes (Pearson's r = 0.474, p = 0.007). Of the 31 patients, 12.9% (RSI) and 6.4% (RFS) recovered from preexisting LPR, whereas 22.6% (RSI) and 3.2% (RFS) developed new de novo LPR postsurgery. The postsurgical mean RFS change improved significantly in the GB group compared with that of the SG group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION LPR is best assessed clinically using a multimodal approach (RSI and RFS). Bariatric surgery may worsen or lead to de novo LPR. Recognizing the LPR outcomes in these patients is paramount for optimal voice, speech, and swallowing functions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence rate of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been reported in 74 to 90% of morbidly obese patients. This study aims to develop a scoring system that predicts significant liver fibrosis in morbidly obese patients. METHODS This prospective cohort study involved 123 morbidly obese patients who underwent metabolic surgery at Taipei Medical University Hospital between October 2016 and June 2018. Wedge liver biopsy was performed during surgery, and significant liver fibrosis was defined as a fibrosis score ≧ 2. Ultrasonography and transient elastography were performed prior to surgery to assess the risk factors associated with significant liver fibrosis. RESULTS Mean patient age was 35.5 years, mean body mass index (BMI) was 40.6 kg/m2, and 87 (70.7%) were female. Fibrosis staging revealed 28 (22.8%) at stage 2, 14 (11.4%) at stage 3, and 2 (1.6%) at stage 4. Patients were then separated into training (n = 73) and validation (n = 50) cohorts. Multivariate analysis revealed a liver stiffness measurement (LSM) > 7 kPa and aspartate aminotransferase/platelet ratio index (APRI) > 0.40 as independent factors associated with significant liver fibrosis among the training cohort. Fibroscan-base score weighted sum of (1 for presence of APRI > 0.40) + (2 for presence of LSM > 7 kPa) yielded the highest area under receiver operating curve (0.854, P = 0.0001; 0.785, P = 0.0002) compared with other non-invasive markers in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. CONCLUSION We developed a simple, clinical scoring system incorporating Fibroscan and APRI to predict significant liver fibrosis in morbidly obese patients.

Abstract
Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography (TE) is a non-invasive assessment for diagnosing and staging liver fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Evidence on its role as a longitudinal monitoring tool is lacking. This study aims to evaluate the role of TE in monitoring NAFLD improvement following bariatric surgery. This study prospectively recruited 101 morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery for intraoperative liver biopsy. Thirty-seven patients of the cohort received perioperative TE. Postoperative anthropometric, biochemical and LSM data were collected annually for 5 years. In 101 patients receiving liver biopsy (mean age 40.0 ± 10.3 years, mean body-mass-index (BMI) 40.0 ± 5.7 kg/m2), NASH and liver fibrosis were diagnosed in 42 (41.6%) and 48 (47.5%) patients respectively. There were 29 (28.7%) stage 1, 11 (10.9%) stage 2, 7 (6.9%) stage 3, and 1 (1.0%) stage 4 fibrosis. In 37 patients receiving TE (mean age 38.9 ± 10.8 years, mean BMI 41.1 ± 5.6 kg/m2), the percentages of total weight loss were 21.1 ± 7.6% at 1 year, 19.7 ± 8.3% at 3 years, and 17.1 ± 7.0% at 5 years after surgery. The mean LSM reduced significantly from 9.8 ± 4.6 kPa at baseline to 6.9 ± 3.4 kPa at 1 year, 7.3 ± 3.0 kPa at 3 years, and 6.8 ± 2.6 kPa at 5 years (P = 0.002). Using pre-defined LSM cut-offs, the rates of significant fibrosis, advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis being ruled out at 5 years improved from baseline values of 43.7 to 87.5% (P < 0.001), 56.8 to 91.7% (P < 0.001), and 64.9 to 91.7% (P < 0.001), respectively. TE was a useful monitoring tool in demonstrating the improvement of liver fibrosis following bariatric surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND All bariatric surgical procedures may compromise the nutritional status of patients, but nutritional deficiencies vary by region and culture. However, there are no preoperative nutritional guidelines for bariatric patients in East Asia. Here, we aimed to evaluate the preoperative nutritional status of East Asian bariatric surgical patients. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of 215 consecutive patients who underwent bariatric surgery between January and December 2019 at a single tertiary institution in Korea. Medical background evaluation, anthropometric measurements, and laboratory tests were performed before surgery. RESULTS Vitamin D deficiency was identified in 80.0% of participants and 13.8% had insufficiency. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency and the mean vitamin D concentration did not significantly differ between the sexes. Vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency was the second most common deficiency (18.3%), followed by folate (14.2%), iron (11.8%), and zinc (7.6%) deficiencies. The prevalence of anemia did not significantly differ between the sexes (1.3% in men vs. 7.4% in women, p=0.10), but the prevalence of iron deficiency was significantly higher in women (1.3% vs. 17.9%, p<0.001). The prevalences of copper (2.3%) and selenium (3.2%) deficiencies were low, and none of the participants had vitamin B12 or magnesium deficiency. CONCLUSION There were high prevalences of vitamin D, folate, vitamin B1, and iron deficiencies in bariatric patients in Korea. Nutritional deficiencies should be corrected prior to surgery to prevent subsequent further depletion. Routine analysis of vitamin B12, magnesium, copper, and selenium before surgery should be considered and studied in more detail.

Abstract
AIM To assess the outcomes of metabolic surgery in overweight and obese patients in Asia with type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS The treatment outcomes of 1999 patients from the Asian Diabetes Surgery Summit database were analysed. The changes in treatment effects across time were assessed with respect to the surgical procedures performed by using generalized estimating equations. RESULTS The most commonly performed procedure was the single-anastomosis gastric bypass (32.6%). Weight (from 106.2 ± 25.1 to 77.9 ± 18.8 kg), body mass index (BMI; from 38.7 ± 7.9 to 28.5 ± 5.9 kg/m2 ), blood sugar (from 9.3 ± 4.1 to 5.7 ± 1.8 mmol/L) and HbA1c (from 8.4% ± 1.8% to 6.0% ± 1.1%) significantly improved from baseline to 1 year (P < .001) and remained stable at 5 years (weight, 86.3 ± 23.3 kg; BMI, 31.7 ± 7.9 kg/m2 ; blood sugar, 5.8 ± 1.8 mmol/L, and HbA1c, 6.4% ± 1.2%; all P < .001 vs. baseline). Blood pressure and most lipid disorders also improved significantly. Of the treatment procedures, single-anastomosis gastric bypass had the most satisfactory outcomes with statistical significance for most disorders, whereas adjustable gastric banding displayed the least satisfactory outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Metabolic surgery remarkably improved body weight, T2D and other metabolic disorders in Asian patients. However, the efficacy of individual procedures varied substantially.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Two recent studies in the adult and pediatric Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis-Clinical Research Network (NASH-CRN) cohorts have shown that soluble interleukin-2 receptor alpha (IL2RA) levels increased with fibrosis severity. However, no hepatic study has been conducted in Asian morbidly obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery. In this study, we proposed IL2RA as a biomarker for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) diagnosis and performed immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining of IL2RA. METHODS This prospective cohort study enrolled 123 morbidly obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery at Taipei Medical University Hospital from October 2016 to June 2018. During bariatric surgery, all patients underwent a wedge liver biopsy under laparoscopic guidance. The diagnoses of NASH and liver fibrosis were made histologically. In IHC of IL2RA, the number of lymphocytes with IL2RA immunoreactivity was counted in five high-power fields (×400, total: 1.19 mm2). RESULTS Among the 123 patients, the mean age was 35.5 years, mean body mass index (BMI) was 40.6 kg/m2, 87 (70.7%) were female, 25 (20.7%) had diabetes mellitus, and 57 (46.3%; 11 with non-NAFLD and 46 with steatosis) and 66 (53.7%) were included in the non-NASH and NASH groups, respectively. The NASH group had higher IHC of IL2RA than the non-NASH group. In multivariate analysis, IHC of IL2RA (odds ratio, 1.025; 95% confidence interval, 1.006-1.045; p = 0.011) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT; odds ratio, 1.045; 95% confidence interval, 1.018-1.073; p = 0.001) were the independent factors associated with NASH. The area under the receiver operating curve of IL2RA IHC for NASH was 0.627 at the cutoff value of 82 (p = 0.0113). CONCLUSION IL2RA is significantly associated with NASH in morbidly obese patients and would be a useful biomarker for NASH diagnosis.

[PMID: 33588802 PMCID: PMC7885431 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-021-01058-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2020] [Accepted: 01/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background This study aimed to reevaluate the learning curve of laparoscopic Roux-en Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) in the modern era while considering a single surgeon’s experience. Methods From the beginning of our LRYGB practice, all patients who met the regional criteria and underwent primary LRYGB were retrospectively enrolled. Patients with a body mass index (BMI) > 50 kg/m2 were excluded. Those who underwent surgery in 2016–17, 2018 and 2019 by a single surgeon with 10 + years of laparoscopic experience were assigned to groups A, B and C, respectively. The patient demographics and 30-day outcome data, including the operation time, length of stay (LOS), emergency room visits, readmission, and reoperation, were compared among the groups. Results One hundred and eight patients met the inclusion criteria; 36, 38, and 34 patients were assigned to groups A, B and C, respectively. There were no differences in age, sex distribution or common comorbidities among the groups; however, B had a lower BMI (35.1 kg/m2 vs. 37.0 kg/m2) and a higher rate of hypertension (44.7% vs. 22.2%) than group A. The operation time was markedly reduced (96.1 min and 114.9 min, p < 0.001), and the LOS was shortened (2.2 days and 2.9 days, p < 0.001) in group B compared to group A and remained stationary in group C, with no further reduction in 30-day complications. Conclusion The learning process of LRYGB can be shortened to approximately 30 cases if conducted selectively by experienced laparoscopic surgeons. Further follow-up is required to verify the long-term safety and applicability in other patient subgroups.

Abstract
Aim The J-SMART study was the first national survey of Japanese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). We performed a subgroup analysis of J-SMART focusing on the differences in patient background and diabetes remission between patients with BMI 32-34.9 kg/m2 and those with higher BMI. Methods In this multi-institutional retrospective study at 10 certified bariatric institutions, 203 Japanese with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and BMI of 32 kg/m2 or higher were analyzed (mean age: 49.2 years, BMI: 43.8 kg/m2, HbA1c: 7.6%). Patients were stratified into five groups according to preoperative BMI. Results Background characteristics in BMI 32.0-34.9 group were higher adjusted HbA1c, higher visceral/subcutaneous fat area ratio, higher prevalence of diabetic retinopathy, higher frequency of insulin use and lower serum C-peptide. Although 2-year percent total weight loss (21.7%) and diabetes complete remission (CR) rate (52.4%) were lower in BMI 32.0-34.9 group, diabetes improvement rate was 81.0%, and the decrease in HbA1c and number of antidiabetic drugs were comparable or greater than those with higher BMI. Higher BMI and no insulin use were significant independent predictors of diabetes CR. No significant independent predictor was identified for diabetes improvement. Conclusion The patients with 32-34.9 kg/m2 were characterized by more severe visceral obesity, T2D and the complications, and lower intrinsic insulin secretion capacity. LSG should be considered as a treatment option for patients with BMI 32-34.9 kg/m2, to improve diabetes control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in bariatric surgery patients and can lead to potential perioperative risks, but some screening tools lack adequate performance in this population. Thus, we aimed to develop and validate a clinical nomogram for predicting OSA in bariatric surgery candidates. METHODS We retrospectively collected the data of 482 bariatric surgery patients between September 2015 and January 2020. Patients were randomly classified into training cohort (n=338) and validation cohort (n=144). The Lasso regression was used to select potentially relevant features; then, multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to establish the nomogram. Discrimination, calibration and clinical usefulness of the nomogram were assessed using the C-index, calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS The overall prevalence of OSA was 71.0% and higher in males (88.2%) compared to females (60.1%). Of these, 26.1% had mild OSA, 14.9% had moderate OSA, and 44.8% had severe OSA. The nomogram consisted of gender, habitual snoring, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), neck circumference, body mass index (BMI) and age. The nomogram provided favorable discrimination, with a C-indexes for the training and validation cohort of 0.856 (95% CI: 0.816-0.897) and 0.829 (95% CI: 0.76-0.895), respectively, and good calibration. The DCA displayed that the nomogram was clinically useful. CONCLUSION We established a concise and practical nomogram that could facilitate the preoperative individualized prediction of OSA before bariatric surgery, which may help clinicians select bariatric surgery patients with high-risk OSA for polysomnography (PSG).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the maximum lifetime body mass index (max BMI) with hemodialysis initiation and comorbidities in Japanese hemodialysis patients. METHODS In a retrospective cross-sectional study on 724 hemodialysis patients, max BMI, age at hemodialysis initiation, and comorbidities including sleep apnea syndrome, cerebro-cardiovascular diseases, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) were analyzed. Early hemodialysis initiation was defined as age <50 years. RESULT Diabetes patients showed a higher max BMI and prevalence of atherosclerotic diseases than nondiabetes patients, despite almost the same age at hemodialysis initiation. Patients with early hemodialysis initiation showed higher male ratio, prevalence of PDR, and max BMI than those with later initiation, despite almost equal prevalence of diabetes. Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis determined a max BMI of 28.4 kg/m2 as a reliable cutoff value for predicting early hemodialysis initiation, and this parameter was identified as an independent predictor of early hemodialysis initiation using bivariate logistic regression analysis. Vitrectomy for PDR also tended to contribute independently to early hemodialysis initiation. CONCLUSION A high max BMI contributed to early hemodialysis initiation independent of diabetes. Furthermore, PDR was associated with a high max BMI and early hemodialysis initiation. These results suggest that weight reduction in young chronic kidney disease patients with obesity may prevent hemodialysis and blindness.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intra-gastric balloon (IGB) therapy is the most established endoscopic treatment of obesity, but there is a paucity of literature on long-term efficacy. This study aims to evaluate the short- and long-term weight loss efficacy of IGB. MATERIALS AND METHODS Double-blinded RCT with 6-month IGB vs with sham endoscopy, in body mass index (BMI) 27-35 patients. Anthropometric, fasting glucose, and lipid profile measurement as early outcomes (up to 2 years) and 10-year follow-up. Primary outcomes were total body weight loss (kg) and BMI. Secondary outcomes were new-onset diabetes mellitus, other new comorbidities, and willingness for further intervention. RESULTS Initial RCT recruited 99 patients (50 IGB vs 49 sibutramine group). Forty-nine patients (26 IGB vs 23 control group) participated in a 10-year review (follow-up rate of 51.6%). Total body weight loss at 6 (9.75 vs 7.48 kg, p = 0.03), 12 (6.52 vs 4.42 kg, p = 0.05), 18 (5.42 vs 3.57, p = 0.32), and 24 months (4.07 vs 2.93 kg, p = 0.56) favored the IGB group. Total weight loss (TWL) at 10 years (0.03 vs - 2.32 kg, p = 0.05) and %TWL (- 0.16 ± 12.8% vs - 2.84 ± 5.6%, p = 0.39) were not significantly different between groups. Follow-up BMI (30.97 ± 1.6 vs 30.38 ± 1.8 kg/m2, p = 1.00) was similar. At 10 years, new-onset diabetes mellitus, sleep apnoea, metabolic syndrome, and arthralgia were not significant (p > 0.05). Twenty-three (81%) IGB group vs 13 (56%) control expressed a willingness for further intervention (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION IGB delivers weight loss to 2 years and is superior to control. However, new comorbidity development is not significantly different at 10 years. Patient that received IGB therapy were subsequently more willing for further bariatric metabolic intervention.

The effect of bariatric surgery on the improvement of lower urinary tract symptoms in morbidly obese male patients. Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis 2020; 24:380-388. [PMID: 32963287 DOI: 10.1038/s41391-020-00285-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2020] [Revised: 08/27/2020] [Accepted: 09/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are strongly linked with obesity. Whether bariatric surgery can effectively alleviate LUTS in morbidly obese men is unknown. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of bariatric surgery in reducing the prevalence and severity of male LUTS in obese patients. METHODS This was a prospective observational study on consecutive morbidly obese men undergoing bariatric surgery. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was used to assess for LUTS before and at 1-3 years after surgery. The 3-year changes in IPSS, the changes in LUTS severity, and the factors associated with LUTS improvement were evaluated. RESULTS This study recruited 143 morbidly obese men (mean age 43.0 ± 10.4 years) undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (n = 89) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (n = 54). The rates of follow-up after surgery were 94.4% (n = 119/126) at 1 year, 90.6% (n = 96/106) at 2 years, and 81.2% (n = 69/85) at 3 years. After surgery, there was significant body mass index reduction from 39.1 ± 5.2 kg/m2 preoperatively to 30.1 ± 4.8 kg/m2 at 1 year and 31.5 ± 4.9 kg/m2 at 3 years (P < 0.001). There was significant reduction in IPSS total symptom score, quality of life score, frequency score, and nocturia score (P < 0.05). The prevalence of moderate to severe LUTS reduced from 35.0% (29.4% moderate; 5.6% severe) preoperatively to 21.8% (19.3% moderate; 2.5% severe) at 1 year and 30.4% (24.6% moderate; 5.8% severe) at 3 years (P < 0.001). LUTS improvement was significantly associated with body fat percentage reduction (P = 0.012) and was not associated with weight loss or improvement of metabolic parameters. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery was an effective and durable intervention for alleviating the prevalence and severity of LUTS in morbidly obese men for up to 3 years.
